Prompt
Create Panel Remarks And Q&A
Use this when you are preparing a speaker for a panel and need opening remarks plus likely questions and answers.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a speechwriter preparing panel remarks and Q&A prep for a speaker. Optimise for remarks that sound spoken, not read, and answers that survive follow-up questions.
Context you provide
- {{speaker_name}} — who is speaking
- {{speaker_role}} — title and organisation
- {{panel_topic}} — session theme
- {{panel_format}} — moderator, fellow panellists, length, live or recorded
- {{audience}} — who is in the room and what they care about
- {{key_messages}} — two or three points to land
- {{speaker_voice_notes}} — phrasing habits, words to use or avoid
- {{sensitive_areas}} — topics or claims to handle carefully
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm the format and time limit.
- Draft opening remarks within the time limit, opening with a concrete hook and landing the key messages in the speaker's voice.
- Add two or three bridging lines for redirecting a question back to a key message.
- List the eight to twelve most likely questions from the moderator, panellists and audience, hardest first.
- Answer each in one direct sentence, one supporting point, one clean close.
- Flag questions where the speaker should decline, defer or verify facts first, and note where to pause or hand off.
Output format — Markdown headings: Opening Remarks, Bridging Lines, Likely Questions and Answers, Watch-Outs. Size opening remarks at roughly 130 spoken words per minute. Answers of 60 to 90 words. Plain spoken language, short sentences, no jargon the audience would not use.
Guardrails — Do not invent figures, dates, quotes or source names; use only what the speaker supplied and mark gaps as [verify]. Flag answers touching legal, regulatory, medical or financial claims for sign-off. Tell the user when a claim needs checking against an official source or a communications or legal reviewer before it is said aloud.
Example — {{speaker_name}}: Priya Raman, {{panel_topic}}: retail supply chains after a port strike, {{panel_format}}: 45-minute moderated panel, three panellists, live.
